Riad Kalaa 2, Rabat

4.4 (23 reviews) · Comfort
Traditional riad in the city center with themed rooms, a rooftop pool, and daily breakfast

Overview

Centrally located in Rabat's Medina, Riad Kalaa 2 is just a six-minute walk from the Grand Mosque and Rue des Consuls and eight minutes from the Bab Laalou gate. Its location is an ideal spot for exploring the city. You'll be surrounded by the city's bustling atmosphere yet stay within a tranquil retreat.

Each of the nine air-conditioned rooms features a unique theme inspired by the country's main cities. The rooms have authentic Moroccan decorations, comfortable beds, private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries, and flat-screen TVs. Some of kimkim's past travelers have praised the hotel's cleanliness, comfort, and careful attention to detail in each room. 

One of the riad's biggest highlights is its rooftop terrace with a swimming pool, offering a panoramic view of the medina's rooftops. Enjoy daily breakfast served in the central courtyard; the open kitchen overlooking the central patio adds a touch of modern design. And for dinner, head to the Riad's sister property for a beautiful dining experience.

Rias Kalaa2 is a fabulous and conveniently located riad in Rabat. We loved the contemporary decor; the whole place was very charming with a combination of traditional and contemporary decor. We shared a family suite with two bathrooms, and it was very comfortable for three.. The rooftop deck and pool were a treat. Breakfast and tea service were excellent and the food delicious. Highly recommend! Read more

Plan on bringing your own shampoo, although the Riad offers some basic amenities. The rooms are extremely clean and cozy.

Once you find the hotel (a little difficult, but everything is a touch hard to find when you've never been before) it's a beautiful little oasis in Rabat. Staff was very helpful, breakfast was delicious and dinner at their sister Riad was delightful! Read more
